Abstract

In this chapter, the developed guide is applied to two strategically selected case studies of multi-storey garages located in Portsmouth and Bristol. The planning, architectural and environmental adaptive reuse potential of these urban structures for food production is analysed. The planning phase defines the key drivers and motivations for the proposed up-cycling that are in line with the urban development objectives. The architectural analysis investigates selected car parking structures as three-dimensional volumes and identifies unique opportunities and limitations for repurposing them for alternative use. The potential to implement resource-efficient installations, alternative energy technologies, and environmental synergies with other uses is analysed in the environmental phase. Applying the guide results in the development of adaptive reuse scenarios for the two analysed multi-storey garages, which present these inner-city structures as mixed-use, resource-efficient, productive architecture.
